The sweep, paid for by a California Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Grant, covered 24 men. All were already being monitored by the Redding Parole GPS Sex Offender Unit.

None of the men was arrested on suspicion of doing anything other than violating his parole, meaning the men are not suspected of committing any additional crimes at the time of arrest, Sgt. Jason Beeman said.

Parole conditions may prohibit things that would be otherwise legal, like the possession of alcohol or firearms.
